Cant we do that by using our image manager in tutorials, uploading the file and then just changing the link? Later we can add an icon for mel perpahs that makes it that link by default... But id like to keep all tutorials in the tutorial area one way or another so things can be searched, organized, sorted, etc. Give it a shot and let me know what needs to be cahnged if anything...
lets not get into the habbit of posting all kinds of useful stuff in the forums as it always gets lost and thats the reason we built all these other tools 
cool idea though, we'll figure it out!
